Steve Lonegan camp deletes Cory Booker tweet

The campaign team for the Republican running for Senate in New Jersey sent out a racially charged tweet during Newark, N.J., Mayor Cory Booker’s debate against three rival Democrats vying for the nomination in the special election.

The tweet, which was quickly deleted, came from the @LoneganforNJ account, which is the campaign staff account for GOP-er Steve Lonegan. Lonegan tweeted at the beginning of the Democratic primary debate for people to monitor the staff feed.
